Overanalyzing is Exhausting

I find myself overthinking and overanalyzing. A lot.

Simple questions like “what do you want to eat?” are so frustrating for me because I constantly worry I’ll pick a restaurant the other person doesn’t like. It creates a billion different thoughts that spiral into a gigantic snowball of anxiousness.

It also happens when someone doesn’t respond to a text or it takes them a while to get back to me. My brain immediately goes into overdrive, trying to come up with why this person hates me all of a sudden and what I did to upset them. It sounds silly but in the moment I truly believe I messed everything up.

If you frequently find yourself overanalyzing, I want you to know you are definitely not alone. It feels like you are but I promise it’s not true. I know how you feel.
